Laravel PHPUnit Test Undefined Errors Variable - laravel

Question

I would like someone to explain to me why I'm getting undefined variable errors when I run my phpunit tests from my Laravel application. I have if statements set up so that it doesn't add them by default so not sure why.
<?php
Route::auth();
Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
Route::get('dashboard', ['as' => 'dashboard', 'uses' => 'HomeController#dashboard']);
});
<form role="form" method="POST" action="{{ url('/login') }}">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<div class="form-group form-material floating {{ $errors->has('email') ? 'has-error' : '' }}">
<input id="email" type="email" class="form-control" name="email" value="{{ old('email') }}"/>
<label for="email" class="floating-label">Email</label>
#if ($errors->has('email'))
<small class="help-block">{{ $errors->first('email') }}</small>
#endif
</div>
<div class="form-group form-material floating {{ $errors->has('password') ? 'has-error' : '' }}">
<input id="password" type="password" class="form-control" name="password" />
<label for="password" class="floating-label">Password</label>
#if ($errors->has('password'))
<small class="help-block pull-left">{{ $errors->first('password') }}</small>
#endif
</div>
<div class="form-group clearfix">
<div class="checkbox-custom checkbox-inline checkbox-primary checkbox-lg pull-left">
<input type="checkbox" id="inputCheckbox" name="remember">
<label for="inputCheckbox">Remember me</label>
</div>
<a class="pull-right" href="{{ url('/password/reset') }}">Forgot password?</a>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-block btn-lg margin-top-40">Log in</button>
</form>
<?php

}
}

Remove the WithoutMiddleware trait from your test.
